In this special second event on the topic of social justice, equity, and diversity (following our event on August 4), we will address how and why technology companies can be be drivers of change in social justice, equity, and diversity—and why this will be good for their own success (products, services, profits, and more) as well as society.

Our panel of experts will show data on the inequities within the industry, as well as specific and actionable tips on how tech companies can lead the charge in promoting diversity and equity in the workforce and proving technology accessibility to all people.

This will be a focused, action oriented conversation where you will learn questions you can ask, resources you can use, and things you can do to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization and in the technology industry. 

Please join us and share your own thoughts, experiences, and suggestions in the important forum.
